Dear Maria, Liana, Connie and entire family. It is with great sadness to hear the passing of your beautiful mother. Memories and footprints of her kind and loving ways will always remain with me in my heart. I will always remember when we were young and my sister Noula would bring me over to your home and I would play in the beaded curtains and we would all visit one another's homes. Your mom would always offer her special baked Italian treats with such love. These are such treasured moments in my memory. Please know that my heart is with you in this difficult time. May your mother rest in peace. May god bless her huge heart. My deepest condolences. Mimi, Isabella and Tommy - Posted by: Mimi (Family friend) on: Aug 01, 2016

Liana, Vince and family. Our sincere condolences to you and your family. Words cannot ease the sorrow you are feeling now. But your mother left this earth with so much of her behind. You will hear yourself saying things she said; you will be doing things that she has taught you and your daughters to do; your mom will be by your side and you will be talking to her when you don't even think you are. Mothers create a nest and then we watch our loved ones create their own nest. No time is right to leave your loved ones, and the ones left behind hurt the most, but she is in a world much better than the one she left - preparing to guide us when it's our time - Posted by: Jones family (Friend) on: Jul 26, 2016
